That's sad news. My wife bought our daughter Heather (big Bogart fan) several of Van's items in this year's show. John W

If you ever attended Cinevent in Columbus and surveyed the dealer’s room, then you probably stopped by the tables of Charles Van Fossan, “Van” to those who knew him. His specialty was what he called “Hollywood cut-outs,” 3D wooden display items any movie fan would love. I’m sorry to report that Van lost his 10 year battle with cancer this morning. Many years ago, Van was in the Columbus movie theatre business, although I must admit I don’t know a lot about that time in his life. Perhaps others on the list know more about his past. There are probably many of you who met Van at Cinevent, and perhaps bought a fridge magnet, or a 3D lobby card, or a standee from him. Looking around my room right now I can see numerous items I purchased from him and a few custom ones he made just for me. Cinevent just won’t be the same without him.
